Dental Pain Management

At Fifth Avenue Periodontics, Dr. Clifford Melnick and his team are committed to patient comfort and a pain-free experience. We understand that many of our patients may be fearful of certain procedures and treatments because of previous experiences, however, we take every effort to minimize pain while at our Manhattan office.

We use state-of-the-art technology to ensure that pain is managed during dental procedures. Some of this technology includes:

Oraqix- Oraqix is a topic anesthetic agent that Dr. Clifford Melnick uses for pain control in a variety of periodontal treatments. Oraqix combines lidocaine and prilocaine with a thermosetting system for pain relief in needed locations. No needle is required with the Oraqix process, and allows for a patient to feel completely comfortable and pain-free during an entire dental treatment.

Dentalvibe- with many dental procedures, a numbing injection may be necessary. However, the injection can be extremely painful for a patient. With Dentalvibe, a vibrating comfort tip is placed at the injection site. After a few seconds of a “pleasant tickling sensation,” Dr. Clifford Melnick will be able to administer the injection with no pain. It is reported that most patients do not feel the injection at all, and can be comfortably numb during treatment.

The addition of Oraqix and Dentalvibe to regular dental and periodontal care allows for patients to remain comfortable throughout a visit to the dentist. Dr. Clifford Melnick always stays up-to-date with the latest technology and dental techniques to decrease patient recovery time and pain levels.
